Yvette Carnell: Obama Just Got Rolled by Willard “King of the Rats” Romney, How’d That Happen?
I knew there was a problem when I read The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates, a writer who is normally keenly insightful on issues of race and culture, praise 
Obama for a comment that wasn’t particularly praise-worthy.
Regarding the above clip, Coates made this flattering comment: “Barack Obama — master of the slow soundbite. It’s like watching Kareem’s sky-hook.” Except that it’s not. It’s not like watching a master at work or a man who is ‘playing chess, not checkers.’
Saying Romney is out of touch is something I would say. It’s something anybody would say. Don’t believe me? Just spend five minutes on your Facebook feed and you’ll see plenty of pithy photoshopped images of Romney wearing monocles, top hats, and bathing in $100 dollar bills . Everyone knows he’s elite and out of touch, so there’s nothing Kareem-like in stating the obvious. Obama’s not exceeding expectations with that observation, or in its delivery, but Democrats are so taken with Obama that they can’t see just how lazy his campaign game has become.
President Obama has spent the entire campaign not telling us what his second term will look like: FORWARD. That’s all we know, and we dare not push for more.
When’s the last time Obama had his nose bloodied? Hillary Clinton?
A line from “Glory”, delivered by Denzel Washington, comes to mind: “N*gga just forgot to duck, that’s all.” You forget to duck either because you haven’t fought in awhile or you don’t have anything worth fighting for. President Obama is great at playing to our highest ideals, but he’s inept when it comes to defending his own record or projecting his vision for America. Ask yourself why that is? Why couldn’t President Obama force Willard Romney, one of the weakest candidates to come down the pike in a long while, to explain his Cayman accounts or why he won’t extend what he gave Massachusetts – Romneycare – to the rest of the country? Nada. Obama didn’t push any of these issues. He just hung his head, gritted his teeth, and said “Governor Romney and I agree”. d**n.

I found ROMNEY to be disgusting…he even dominated that weak moderator. Maybe I see things that others do not…but if folks thought that a BIG MOUTH TALKING LOUD AND SAYING NOTHING was a winner…well, you will get yours when that clown is in the White House. THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE — ROMNEY was full of ‘zingers’…and tall tales, fables, and falsehoods. He flipped and flopped like a sick fish out of water. He lied about his plan to cut taxes on the rich, about Health Care, and almost every issue. People who vote for this clown…will get just what we saw….HE IS GOING TO CUT YOUR STUFF OFF….cut the taxes for the rich…and nothing for the 47% MOOCHERS. I know a lot of people wanted Pres. Obama to jump on every lie he told…but maybe Pres. Obama was doing the “ROPE A DOPE.” I agree with Rev. Al Sharpton — “Romney’s Testimony was good…but he should be tried for perjury.”
All these excuses coming from the O’Drama-ites! Instead of Monday morning quarterbacks we got Thursday morning coaches!
O’Drama is controlled! I keep telling y’all that! Do y’all think those yankees was gonna let willard look stupid and dumb in front of their own kind? Did y’all think they (elites) were gonna let O’Drama look like a STRONG BLACK MAN, in front of his kind?
Poli(tricks) is a game, and this is the icing on the cake that willard is gonna be SELECTED to become ‘resident’ of the Black House!
If O’Drama wanted to debate, he should’ve came with 12 cyclinders instead of 4. He is weak and too d**n submissive when he’s around caucasoids. He talked a big game when he was campaigning, but when the curtain rose up; he fell!
I ain’t voting for none of those puppets because, who ever wins is gonna be controlled by the elite, who controls the world! He (O’Drama) was told how to act, what to say and he’s just another p**n in the Black House taking orders from his bosses.
He had ALL day to praise his wife on their anniversay, and he came there to DEBATE, not to tell his wife he loves her. Save that shyt after the debate.
Personally, I believe they (elite) told O’Drama not to be hard on willard because a lot of young Black males and females were watching, and they want to make sure our children continue to be WEAK and SUBMISSIVE to these caucasoids.
Like I said in another post, this thang was rigged, and willard was given the questions to rehearse, and the commentator gave him the floor! These yankees are all in this thang together.
I KNOW THE DEAL!!!
How does one debate an ETCH-A-SKETCH??? Romney flipped and flopped so much in telling lies and changing his empty “plans” in that debate…that he could have been in the Olympics. ROMNEY wants to cut off benefits for the 47% of us. He wants to help the RICH with big tax cuts. And he has a history of shipping jobs overseas. BUT HE CAN SMILE AND BOGARD A DEBATE !!! Some people in this country are so duped by utter nonsense…that they think Romney won. If the GRAND DRAGON or SATAN himself got on stage with a weak sorry excuse for a moderator who let him ramble on….I suppose these pundits would say… “Wow…Satan is a winner.”
Derrick……
You are giving Barack Obama to much credit. It is not racists Caucasians who are holding down the Black community. Although Barack Obama speaks well, he is truly dysfunctional, treasonous, unfit…….and this was true even before Barack Obama became President.

While a dysfunctional and bigotted black electorate make unfounded accusations that Mitt Romney is racist……these same individuals ignore or give praise to no good President Barack Obama……..
……President Barack Obama, Justice Clarence Thomas, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, and other individuals who use the oath of office to provide Constitutional protections for treasonous U.S. citizens, lying city procecutors, rogue police officers, illegal immigrants, foreign terrorists, War criminals and enemies of the United States of America, etc., etc., ……….individuals who are neither U.S. citizens or legal immigrants…………
……U.S. citizens and legal immigrants being the only individuals to whom all elected officials of the U.S. are mandated by law and sworn under oath to represent.
………should any law abiding U.S. born descendant of slavery petition President Obama for redress, demand that Obama uphold his duty as an elected official to competently serve law abiding U.S. citizens and legal immigrants…….
…..the response is “Put on your marching shoes, stop complaining”, talking down to U.S. born black men, making excuses to do nothing, taking sides with the perpetrators, kissing up to illegal aliens,etc., etc.
The KKK, the Aryan Nation, the most racist Caucasian in the U.S. would not do this…….
……….meaning Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and other misfits are doing more harm to U.S. born blacks than the KKK, the Aryan Nation, the most racist Caucasian could even dream of doing to blacks.
Derrick you sure know the score.YOU TOLD IT LIKE IT IS.THE TRUTH.
Derrick, is right when he say President Obama is controlled by the man.
Because of their fear that Obama might be perceived as too black by white america–which will lead to losing white votes, they have brainwashed and tricked white folks into believing Obama isn’t a threat to white america by controlling how and when it’s ok to be black to trick white folks one more time for votes to win a second term.
I’m ok for it in the first term to trick white folks into voting for him again to win a second term. But in the second term, if Obama distance himself from black people, then we will know he was nothing but a sambo a*s negro for the man.
In my opinion, losing the debate was the best thing that could happen for Obama. Why, don’t forget that the racist repubs put out that video a day before the debate of Obama talking about blacks being ignored in hurricane Katrina and praising Rev. Wright as his pastor.
It wasn’t a coincidence that tape came out a day before the debate with the racist spreading fear from the video to whites that Obama is a militant black along with his pastor, Rev. Wright.
Althought it’s 2012, white folks are not ready to see a black man talk down to a white man on national tv. If Obama would have attacked Romney during the first debate, today they would be calling him an angry, disrepectful black man and using that video with Rev. Wright to validate their claims.
Wake up, this is the first time in the history of this country that white folks are looking at a black man in a debate as the president and the white man as the opponent.
Now that Obama did not attack Romney, white and black folks are calling for Obama to attack Romney and he will do so in the next debate. In the next debate, the racist whites cannot call him the militant, angry black man who is a threat to white america.
In the next debate, everyone is now expecting to see a black man attack a white man, therefore Obama will not be seen as a threat and will not lose white voters who are oblivious to the fact that Obama could be pro-black like his pastor, Rev. Wright.
Obama played his cards right in the first debate, he can now unleash on a white man and white folks will cheer in support. Now that genious when you think about it!

It is not the Republican Party or racist Caucasians who are holding down the Black community. Although Barack Obama speaks well, he is truly dysfunctional, treasonous, unfit…….and this was true even before Barack Obama became President. In Chicago, Illinois, …..Barack Obama joined a prominent black church, pretended to be a friend to blacks, and then betrayed black people to promote himself to be a U.S. Senator. While holding office as a U.S. Senator, he did nothing to serve blacks.
@ Michael
Shut the h**l up, there is plenty of historical data that tells us throughout history that the white man was..and still is the biggest devil in holding black people down. Stop lying and wake your dumb a*s up! Geezzzzz
The Raw-Money vs Obama debate: ‘A Masterful Liar Defeats a Man Without Convictions’ – Paul Jay @ The Real News Network
Only I wouldn’t call Raw-Money a ‘Masterful’ Liar in that ‘debate’ but a ‘Blatantly 2 [or maybe 3 - 4] Faced-Liar’, whom Obama lacked the conviction to take on because- as he said out of own mouth- ‘I think I & Gov Rmoney mainly agree on that…’

Let me start by an illustration. How a doctor cures a patient’s illness. First the doctor asks the patient a series of questions, these questions will allow the doctor to identify the symptoms, then from the symptomes the doctor will recommend the medication that will cure the patient’s illness. If we tarnslate this analogy in our today politics arena, for Obama this is the first debat where he was listening carefully what Romney was saying because during the compaign Romney never say the “specifics” of his the plan to be implemented when he will be in the white house (his 47% comment will hunt him for ever). Obama has been in the white house and he knows the pain and the joy, and how the government works, and Romney does not. With that being said, I have gut feeling that the second debate Romney will have difficult time to maintain his head above the water, and the third debate will be Romney total lost, and Obama will be reelected for four more years, and this will be the time when Obama will help black folks. The reason I feel confident is because on his first four years Obama has been helping other races except black forks, and when he start to help black forks other races will not have reason to blame him because they have been helped. Obama is saving the best for last. We don’t have another alternative but vote for Obama.
We dont need help. we need our issues honestly addressed by the government that sworn to serve us.
This is all we need.
@Michael…. My sister goes to Rev Wright’s church and it was a blow to all of them when he “dis-owned’ the rev and has never been seen with him since whereas Bush was at the side of Racist white pastors in photo ops all day long. He is controlled like my bro Derrick has been saying and he is truly afraid of the 30-6( who wouldn’t be). A wise old man told me last week that the polls are playing tricks on us and what does the Christian Bible say” believe have of what you see, and none of what you hear.” Somethin’ in the milk ain’t white. “what is it for a man to profit the whole world, but lose his soul.” Has Obama lost his soul? ..Hotep
@Michael.. But make no mistake, I have traveled the whole world and the consensus around the world( even form affluent foreigners) is that the American White Ruthless and savage and what you don’t fight to protect, he will come in and take it form you. Ask the Islamic community abroad. Infadels. ( If you look at HIS-STORY, this demon has warred with all the colored folks in the world for their natural resources for the sake of profit. IE- the Forengi on Deep Space 9). Their mantra is” a rich man can afford anything but a conscious.” And they truly have no conscious. I will give u that we have adopted a lot of their pathological behavior, but we do suffer from PTSD. Go Figure. Ptah Ra
